Still Hopeful

"Party leadership isn't meeting the moment" is an understatement.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

All of this.

Donald Trump Was Recruited by the KGB Under Codename 'Krasnov' Claims Former Soviet Spy Chief A former senior KGB spy chief claims Trump was recruited in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman

A former Soviet spy says that Trump was indeed recruited to the KGB 38 years ago by his department. He was given a codename, 'Krasnov'. We checked, and the source was indeed a KBG intelligence officer at the time. Read about it in my @bylinetimes.bsky.social report: bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

It’s not fucking funny and i don’t understand how you’re an editor at the Daily Beast and you decide “VERY controversial gesture” is the best way to describe it because wink wink nudge nudge aren’t we cute.

Get fucked.

This should royally piss off every American. Not just blue-voting people.

This bullshit billionaire worship has to end. Americans are suffering and dying.

Judge temporarily halts mass firings at CFPB, preserves agency data The order also blocks acting CFPB Director Russ Vought from taking steps to defund the agency.

A judge just blocked Elon Musk and co-president Donald Trump from firing the financial cops at the CFPB who protect consumers from Wall Street scams.

There's power in fighting back.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

Help Denmark Buy California – Because Why Not? Buy it from Trump, the bigliest crowdsourcing ever

PLEASE SHARE.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Newsweek headline which reads: Alleged USAID Probe Into Starlink Raises Elon Musk Conflict Concerns. It has a picture of Leavitt at the WH briefing lectern underneath

Headline in the American Prospect which reads: Bessent Gives Musk a Present Stalling CFPB Oversight of Big Tech.

Elon Musk dismantled USAID as it was investigating Starlink for shutting down satellites over Ukraine to help Russia.

Elon Musk shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as it was about to regulate big tech financial operations.

Don’t be surprised. This is EXACTLY how oligarchies work.

Share this so it gives Trump extreme rage and, hopefully, a stress-related heart attack.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority.

If you're a MAGA and see me talking shit about Trump supporters, I'm 100% talking about you, personally.

And I hope you're offended because you deserve it for being so goddamned stupid.

this is good, i am glad to see that at least some dems are thinking about and prioritizing feds while they’re going through all this shit

I want Elon Musk arrested for breaching my Social Security and bank data

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe:

100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

Adam Kinzinger on Substack Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Adam is right. Let's get our Democratic elected officials to jump into the ring and mix it up with these wannabe fascist fucking GOP traitors.

HELL YEAH. We need to see Dems fighting like this. If you're a Hawaiian, give your senator some love.

The fighting 8th. :)
(Two of these names are denizens of MD 8. One senator, one Rep).

Elon Musk is a terrorist that is attacking America. 🇺🇸

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥There is no rule of law. They’ve all been fired. We’re hostages of Elon and Trump. You tell me how it ends? Robber barrons, thieves and felons bsky.app/profile/crai...
